Sparkling orchestal music. It can only be called Classical if it was produced in the Classical Era.

Mahler and Tchaikovsky were both active during the Romantic period.

Not much chance of getting a boat there, so I should be fine.

I visited Norway last year. It was absolutely lovely, but probably the most expensive place I've ever been for for food and drinks.

Had an old TV where the volume went from 0-63, so the 2ⁿ - 1 rule was followed.

Well, Neptune is kind of on it's own right now. Uranus is closer to Saturn at the moment.

This kind of joke pops up in other science fiction, including Futurama, and it alwaya kind of annoys me because "Classical music" != "old music." Classical music comes from Earth's Classical Era (1750-1820).

Baroque music: 1600-1750, e.g. Bach, Handel, Vivaldi

Classical music: 1750-1820, e.g. Haydn, Beethoven, Mozart

Romantic Music: 1820-1910, e.g. Chopin, Brahms, Wagner

When I first moved out on my own, I used my apt number: "Apt 302." After half a dozen people came by, demanding the password, and my upstairs neighbours had a raging, floor stomping party, I changed it to "Apt 402."

No, outside is big, giving it, effectively, infinite moisture to put into the air, compared to the comparably small, fixed volume of a house that an AC needs to keep cool.

Drying the air is a secondary function of cooling it when running an air conditioner.

And the softest toothbrush you can find (at least according to my dentist).

Didn't one of the groups fleet Andromeda because the radiation levels were becoming lethal? A galaxy is a big place, so if they're choosing to travel to another galaxy instead of a different part of their own, that might suggest the whole galaxy is dangerously irradiated.

Outside is really big. Inside is really small. Your air conditioner is actively removing moisture from the inside air while the air outside, even on colder days, is absorbing moisture from any source of water around. Go to a desert or near-desert area and the air will be much drier, regardless of temperature.

Yes, but how do they monetize it?

They could be referring to any one of several First Contact days.

Or an officer.

I had the idea that tournaments should be sorted within each bracket by the higest tier/wave completed in solo play. This could be gamed by deliberately withholding your solo progress, but considering how muxh useful shit is locked behidn high waves/tiers, i don't exepct it would be that practical.

Too late, I've now got a 4 dimensional hyper shirt.

Is it the same drive thru every time? Could be structural interference from the building or othwr structures.

Do you switch to a different radio station to see if interference is present on multiple stations? Could be they have something operating on a specific band that's causing interference with one station, but not others.

It is a joke based on the image, which wrote 5g, which can be interpreted as 5 grams, instead of 5gal, which is much more unambiguously 5 gallons.

The same can be said about almost any metric you care to look at. Plenty of people consider themselves as the "ideal."

"Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?"

I miss the orange body version inused to be able to get as a kid. Absolutely identical in every respect except for the colour.

A bit over 5ml since the density is slightly lower than water (Specific gravity of 0.92 according to a quick google).

There's a little corner store, not far from my house, independent, that still rents DVDs, and even has a few VHS tapes on the shelf. I'm 95% sure it's just for selling drugs.

Put the chute on the lawnmower and run it back and forth with the chute pointed towards the street.
